Greg, from the pictures you posted of your two SCCs it appears one of the cases has a wooden holder to store your choke tubes, and the other appears to have the holder built in the case and covered with the green felt liner.

Was one of these the original options original from the factory? My SCC had the choke tubes in a plastic bag, and I have been looking for a choke tube holder that would fit in the space provided in the original gun case.....Thanks...

No, neither the felt-wrapped or the wooden choke tube holders came that way from the factory. Like yours, the SCC's choke tubes left the factory in clear plastic bags wrapped by rubber bands. The felt-wrapped tube holder became soiled from choke tube lube and also became somewhat ratty from usage, so I decided to make them out of 5/4 thick walnut and then friction-fitted each to their respective cases (they are slightly different in size) and used a 7/8" drill bit in a drill press to bore the holes for the tubes and wrench. One case holds 8 tubes plus the two in the gun, the other has five plus two in the gun.
